how to read the first line of csv file?

[phpsharma]

Hi,

I need to get the first line of a csv file. If i use getcsv() or file(). they will read entire contents and put it in array. This is very tedious, when we upload a large csv file to database. Is there any other way to do this.

please throw some ideas.

the second argument that [man]fread[/man] takes is the amount of bytes that it will read from the resource handle specified as the first argument. you could just read the first few bytes and then use [man]strstr[/man] to see if a line break is there to get only the first line.
